Mr. Filip Cornelis:

When we are talking about facilitating travel, we are talking about a host of measures that need to jointly contribute to making travel safe. Enabling good contact tracing with the help of passenger location forms is definitely part of that arsenal. Given the level of problems we see today, it is less relevant in many parts of Europe. It remains part of the arsenal.

We are developing a context called healthy gateways, which is a collaborative project involving a number of member states as well as the Commission and EASA. It is an IT solution that could be used across Europe. We need passenger locator forms to be available to all of the authorities that need them. People crossing boarders are a particular issue. We are working on an app that could be used by member states to improve the way the system functions.
